'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' under consideration for Wii U

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim could one day be released for the Wii U, according to a Bethesda executive.

Pete Hines, vice president of marketing with the studio, told Official Nintendo Magazine that the action-RPG is "definitely a possibility" on the Nintendo platform.

He said: "It's definitely a possibility for the future. We'll look at any platform that will support... games we're trying to make, but that's the key thing - the console has to support the game as it is designed."

Hines went on to say that that porting a game like Skyrim to another platform is a "huge undertaking" because it has to be tested in every language.

"The more changes we have to make to a game the less and less palatable it becomes because making a game is an enormous process. Just doing 360, PS3 and PC - I don't think people understand the amount of work that goes into that. All of the localisation you have to do... all of the testing you have to do... on every platform in every language... It's a pretty huge undertaking."

Hines added: "So you aren't just supporting the Wii U, you're supporting it in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish."

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is in development for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3. It will be released worldwide on November 11.
